I was upset by my husband's hospitalization when I toured Brookdale. Therefore I was not too sharp about noticing details. Our guide was warm and thorough and answered our questions candidly. However I have heard nothing from her since the day after my visit

A welcoming new chapter for our dad
We have been very happy with Brookdale. Everything was presented and explained accurately. We've had some tweaks but all have been approached collaboratively and with positivity. I would definitely recommend to other families. The staff is very professional, warm and accommodating. My sister and I spent quite a while touring communities and we found just the right fit for our dad at Brookdale. Thank you to your team for the assistance you provided as well.

They were always very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend them. In our case my mom was a bit overwhelmed because she really requires full nursing at this stage of her life.

Caring, Compassionate, Respectful
When Dad decided it was time for Assisted Living, we toured several places. Upon walking into Brookdale Niskayuna, we knew this was the one - it felt right; like home. Dad has been there for almost 4 years now and has been extremely happy. He partakes in daily activities, has made many friends, is well cared for, and feels safe and secure. Knowing how content he is brings peace of mind to me (his daughter). The staff are wonderful and the lines of communication are always open should there be any questions or concerns. Kudos to Brookdale Niskayuna for doing an outstanding job!

Good but Going to get Better I Hope.
All the people I met seemed to be enjoying their job and wanted to help people. The jury is still out on this as my dad has had some personal issues and I am not sure how I feel about how they handled them or will be handling them in the future yet.

Review for Brookdale Niskayuna
Generally speaking, staff was pleasant, but were overworked to me. Some didn't have the patience I thought was needed in a facility like that. Request were taken, but not acted on for sometime. Food was not much to talk about. I think for basic necessities without any extra Care required would've been OK but once you got over that point.. the room was very nice. We got a double room. It was great of course we furnished the whole thing and made it that way too. You know my mom was difficult, but that's why she was in there. If she was easy we could've taken care of her. That's my disappointment. It seemed to me that with that many rooms there simply wasn't staff available or they certainly didn't respond quickly enough. Look, I realize that has to be a tough job for anybody, but if you're going to show up every day then you should want to be there.

They didn't ask any questions about what the finances were or what type of room we were looking for. The tour guide did not greet any of the residents, nor did they greet her. The facility was lovely, although the tree branch type hallways could make it difficult to find your way of you're elderly or forgetful. The residents seemed to be enjoying they're time with the entertainment coordinator though and everyone at the front desk was lovely. Our tour guide was very nice, I just didn't think she got enough information from us to tailor the tour to our needs.

Overall very friendly and pleasant place, but don't expect quick or thorough follow-up
Admin is super friendly but not all depts are good at following up on specific things, even if we discussed it multiple times. The head of wellness was friendly and supportive, but not good about follow-up after promising to do something or check on something, even when the request was straightforward. Dining staff were great.
